The acting was fine, I had no problems with it. But as one of those multi-character LA dramas, what makes it stand out, for you guys? Everything which you would expect to happen in it does, but nothing which you don't expect to happen in it does. That's a sign of an ordinary film, for me.
Thats the wonderful thing about art (and I'm including filmmaking) ..... we each get something different out of it (probably because we each SEEK something different out of it).
When I watch a movie I want to be told a story, visually. It need not be "deep" and have symbolic and metaphorical references. If its well acted, well written, well directed and tells a decent story then I'm happy. I don't want to look for hidden meanings .... while I respect (and find interesting) your "take" on the meaning of the end of "Grand Canyon" I simply think that the individuals standing on the rim of the Canyon are humbled by its sheer size and beauty. But thats all I need to see.
